About this property
"Driftwood Island Retreat" Spectacular View, Private Waterfront on James Point.
Located on the beautiful west side of Vashon Island, this is a unique, renovated waterfront home on a privately owned sandy beach with a seasonal floating dock. It has an expansive, spectacular 180-degree view of Puget Sound facing Gig Harbor to the south, the Kitsap Peninsula to the west and Mount Baker to the north. There is no other place on the island quite like it. It is a great spot for a memorable and relaxing family vacation. Our 3-bedroom home is beautifully furnished to make you feel comfortable and at home. The refinished wooden walls give it a warm, rustic, retreat atmosphere. You can enjoy the view from the inside of the house or comfortably sit on the west and north facing wrap around deck. The beautiful westward water view is relaxing and breathtaking. You may experience colorful sunsets, glistening calm or whitecap and windy stormy waters. Every day is a unique experience, never the same. The property is accessible to smaller boats during the spring, summer and early fall using our floating dock.
The largest bedroom is furnished with a queen size bed, the middle guest room has a full-size double bed, and the smallest bedroom has a single twin bed. The house sleeps a maximum of 5 guests.
